<p><B>Primary Actor: </B>Configuration Designer</p> 


<P><B>Stakeholders and Interests:<br>
</B>- Configuration designer wants to generate configuration files based on the
map data he/she has.  </P>
<P><B>Preconditions:</B>
  <br>
  - Map data of selected routes are obtained. <br>
  - <a href="config_format.html">Format</a> of the configuration file
  has been determined. <br>
  - The configuration design is completed with all necessary
cases. </P>

<P>
<B>Postconditions:</B>
<br>
- Configuration designer successfully created the configuration files.</P>

<B>Main Success Scenario:</B>
<OL>
<LI>Configuration designer converts the obtained map data of every route to a
  list of &lt;location,time,type&gt; records. 
<LI>Configuration designer puts the records into the configuration file in the
  corresponding <a href="config_format.html">format</a>.  
<LI>Configuration designer puts other parameters into the configuration file
  according to the design.  
</OL>

<p><B>Alternative Scenarios:</B></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<P><B>GUI Interaction:</B><BR>
</P>
<P>
<B>Open Issues:</B><BR>
- Should bad data be dealt with in the configuration file design phase or TraffoSim
simulation phase? <br>
- Is it necessary to provide a graphic interface for configuration designer to
create the configuration files?</P>
